Chocolate Muffins
Submitted By: Debra Toma

Ingredients

2 cups low carb baking mix (between 80-110 calories per 1/4 cup) 
1 Tablespoon baking powder 
equivalent of 8 packets sweetener 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1 cup water 
2 eggs 
1/4 cup sugarfree preserves ( I like stawberry at 10 cal. a T, 
or you can use applesauce) 
3 Tablespoons cocoa 
2 teaspoons vanilla 

Frosting (optional)
1/2 cup spreadable FF cream cheese 
vanilla to thin 
5 packets sweetener 
1 1/2 Tablespoons cocoa


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all muffin ingredients and divide 
evenly between 12 Pam-sprayed muffin tins. Bake 15 minutes or until done. 

For frosting, blend all ingredients, divide by spoonfuls on top of 
cooled muffins, then spread. 

These are good hot or chilled. You can freeze them, too, and grab them 
out individually as needed.

Unfrosted, these have 88 calories each. With frosting, they go up to 99. 
You can use these as a 100 calorie (1) snack, or even have 2 for breakfast 
like the NutriSystem muffins. They are within the 200 calories or below 
category for breakfast, so you can still add a fruit and protein (unless 
you want to count the frosting as your extra protein). The muffins themselves 
are high in protein already.
